Apparently the ref didn't see Grealish go through on goal.

Nick Pope likely to be out for up to 5 months after coming off on Saturday

already there is speculation about Ramsdale and De Gea, but as I said on Sat, Newcastle have an excellent goalkeeper in Dubravka, so I don't think there needs to be any panic even in terms of the number 3 Karius, who had to step up for the LC final and acquitted himself well

we aren't short of goalkeepers... we had 3 on the bench for the Chelsea game

Arsenal nearly drop points to Luton. Keeper had a 'mare for two of Luton's goals.....flapping at a cross he should have claimed all day and then letting the ball in under his body at the near post. Thank goodness he's better than Ramsdale

Aston villa 1-0 Manchester City

Leon Bailey!

Man City’s form has fallen off a cliff

Chelsea are getting worse under pochettino, not better

Chelsea are getting worse under pochettino, not better

They were certainly terrible tonight.

First half, they could have easily scored a hat ful of goals. Mudryk messed up 4 times... twice he had a simple pass to put Jackson/Sterling through 1 v 1 with the keeper for what should have been goals, and then he had two opportunities himself, one he made a clanger of a heavy touch and Onana closed him down, the other he inexplicably went to shoot near post instead of the far post and put it wide from a difficult angle. Aside from being really quick, at the moment its hard to see what Chelsea paid 80 million for!!

Was a really good first half in fact, if both teams had better quality infront of goal it could have been a festival of goals.... second half, Chelsea were pretty poor.

If anything, its the midfield. Without the ball Caicedo and Enzo may as well not have been there. United moved it from defence to the box seemingly at ease

[Gingerfinch]

Chelsea's chances only really came from Utd's errors. They were poor all over the pitch, bar Palmer.

I had a feeling it was going to be a tough night for Newcastle, but I wasn't expecting a 3-0 defeat. 4th consecutive game for the 10 outfield players and all of them have to play all of the games, so it's probably not surprising that tiredness and mistakes are creeping in. It is what it is. Another tricky away game on Sunday to Spurs, who are in a slump, but who will probably feel encouraged that Newcastle only have one win on the road this season.

Tottenham 1-2 West ham

They're struggling since they lost Maddison and van der Ven to injury.

[Durhamfootman]

and the loss of Kane, of course

Liverpool being out played and 1-0 down.... who would have thought Palace would get the softest red card in the history of the league 15 minutes to go.

This after VAR spent 6 minutes to decide the foul from Hughes was an obvious reason to overturn their first penalty.

[sussexpob]

Fair play to Iraola, he has turned Bournemouth from a terrible side into one that look miles away from the relegation race. Very impressive performance today, especially in the final third where they have looked constantly dangerous. The current clean sheet (10 still to play) might flatter a slightly vulnerable defensive performance, as United should have scored, but so far it looks like a deserved victory

not me, that's for certain

in fairness, I haven't seen it yet, so I was holding off before I commented, but yeah.... it was the first thing that passed through my mind when I saw the manner that Liverpool got back into, and then won, the game
